2025 Embracing Ambition Conference
Thank You for Joining Us at the Embracing Ambition Conference!
We had a powerful day of inspiration at our Embracing Ambition Conference on March 26! Centered around the impactful book "Embracing Ambition: Empowering Women to Step Out, Be Seen, & Lead," the event highlighted the stories of twelve remarkable women leaders who have broken down barriers and paved new paths across various industries.
With honest reflections on overcoming challenges, embracing identity, and leading with vision, the authors—including Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania’s President and CEO, Janet Donovan—brought these themes to life. Their insights left us all feeling empowered, motivated, and ready to turn our ambitions into bold action.
Thank you for being part of this unforgettable day. Let’s keep embracing ambition—together.
